374 Right to speak
Before the arrival of Crown Prince William, Qin Zhiyuan had imagined the intention of Prince William.
If the focus is on the future, Crown Prince William and Qin Zhiyuan may explore the possibility of alliance.
If you pay attention to the present, Crown Prince Wilhelm may ask certain questions about Germans, or German prisoners of war, or even penicillin.
Even if Qin Zhiyuan thought about it, he couldn't imagine that Crown Prince William would actually make such a request.
From the position of the Germans, such an act of Crown Prince Wilhelm akin to treason.
Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan did not give an answer immediately, he had to calculate the pros and cons of doing so.
Crown Prince William also knew that the matter was serious, so he did not urge Qin Zhiyuan, but quietly waited for Qin Zhiyuan's answer.
"If I send someone, what do I get?" Qin Zhiyuan went straight to the core of the problem.
If there is no benefit, if there are not enough benefits, Qin Zhiyuan will not do it.
"If Erich is eliminated, the war will end immediately, isn't that good?" Crown Prince William was full of confidence.
"Don't say it's useless, even if I don't take the risk, the war will be over. What's more, if the war ends now, I'm afraid it will be more beneficial to you. Qin Zhiyuan was disdainful, and when he saw that Crown Prince William just wanted to open his mouth, he immediately grabbed the conversation: "Although this is France, it is no stranger to the situation in Germany, especially the attitude of the people towards your royal family, so you'd better say something substantial, and let them hell with those high-sounding words." “
When it comes to interests, Qin Zhiyuan is not ambiguous, one yard is one yard, and his brothers still settle accounts.
Hearing Qin Zhiyuan say this, Crown Prince William's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed: "Qin, the situation in China is indeed not very good, and the people have a lot of complaints about the royal family, but what can I do?" Although I am still the crown prince, my actual identity is a captive, and even if I want to do something, I am not enough. But if this continues, Erich will lead Germany into the abyss of the unknown, and the royal family will become Erich's burial victim, and I can't watch that happen. ”
Crown Prince William is not a politician after all, and he can't do things that stare and talk nonsense. Since Qin Zhiyuan talked about the royal family, Crown Prince Wilhelm did not hide the current situation of the German royal family.
Speaking of this, Crown Prince William's expression became more sincere: "Qin, I can't give you any promises now, but I think we have friendship during this time, if I ascend the throne, I will copy everything you did in Corsica in Germany, whether you return to the Republic of China or return to Lanfang as your king, Germany is your firm ally." Not because I lost to you on the battlefield, but because of your kindness to the Germans, although you did it unintentionally, and you will show this kind of fraternity to other races, but Qin, all Germans will remember everything you did, just like those Germans who have now become French citizens. ”
Although Crown Prince William still did not make any specific commitments, Qin Zhiyuan was relatively at ease, and in the situation of Crown Prince William, Qin Zhiyuan could not ask Crown Prince William to do more.
"I'm going to think about it, and maybe I'll discuss it with others, but in any case, rest assured that this matter won't spread on a large scale, and only a limited number of people will know about it." Of course, Qin Zhiyuan will not reply to Crown Prince William now, this matter is too involved, and Qin Zhiyuan does not have the right to make this decision now.
Crown Prince William expressed his understanding and did not raise any objections, even if Qin Zhiyuan said that he would discuss it with others.
Those who are qualified to "discuss" with Qin Zhiyuan will only be a few people, and Crown Prince Wilhelm is not worried that the spread of this news will affect the reputation of the German royal family.
Since the outbreak of the world war, the propaganda machine of various countries has been in full swing.
In the Entente powers, the Kaiser was portrayed as an unscrupulous king, an obstacle to human progress, a demon who eats human flesh, and so on, even with some lace news from Crown Prince Wilhelm.
What's more, if this news really spreads, Crown Prince William can be said to be slandered by the Entente and flatly deny it.
During the world wars, there was a lot of such news, and it was difficult to distinguish between the true and the false.
So that night, Qin Zhiyuan and Crown Prince William flew back to Paris on a transport plane.
Night flight, in the 20s of the 20th century, was a very dangerous thing.
Now there is no navigation, no walkie-talkie, no radar, it is all about the experience of pilots and navigators, and it is only possible to set up a reference point with fire on the ground.
Qin Zhiyuan had all the conditions, just an order, and all the preparations were carried out immediately.
In fact, since the Germans besieged Reims, the War Department asked Qin Zhiyuan to leave Reims and withdraw to Paris, because no matter what, there was no need for a high-ranking general like Qin Zhiyuan to stay in Reims and take risks.
Qin Zhiyuan will definitely not abandon the troops and leave at this critical time, even if he is commanding remotely in Paris, no matter what, Qin Zhiyuan will choose to be with the soldiers, regardless of life and death.
Now the situation is different, Qin Zhiyuan must personally go back to Paris to communicate with some people, this kind of thing is not easy to say in the telegram.
Sitting on the transport plane, Pierre was curious about the guy in the cabin who completely covered his head and face with a cloak, but he didn't ask in Qin Zhiyuan's gaze, and the group flew to Paris without any communication.
There is really nothing to say, everything that should be said has been said, and the next thing to see is Qin Zhiyuan's ability to move.
Paris is actually very close to Reims, and it feels like the plane has not climbed into place and began to descend, and the descent is actually the most dangerous, and if you are not careful, it will be the result of the plane crashing and killing people.
Qin Zhiyuan has already informed Paris Airport that his plane will land, and the airport has lit two rows of large fires on both sides of the ground runway to light the runway and guide the plane to land.
The pilot's technique was still good, although it was a bit bumpy, but it was finally successful without any surprises.
After getting off the plane, Qin Zhiyuan and Crown Prince William separated, Crown Prince William continued to go back as a prisoner, and Qin Zhiyuan went to implement it.
The car sent by the Black Swan Castle was already waiting at the airport, picking up Qin Zhiyuan and speeding straight to Foch's headquarters.
For such a thing, both public and private, Qin Zhiyuan had to discuss with Foch first.
Although it was already midnight, it was clearly not yet Foch's rest time, and Foch's headquarters was brightly lit, and people were shuttling back and forth, no different from daytime.
Foch was in a meeting with a group of staff officers in the conference room, listening to the tactical deduction of the staff and the new battle plan, which there were countless copies every day, and Foch would choose the most suitable one as his own plan to carry out.
Hearing the report of Qin Zhiyuan's arrival, Foch immediately suspended the meeting and returned to the office to see Qin Zhiyuan.
"Why did you come back at this time, is there any new development?" Foch cares.
Qin Zhiyuan had to submit a battle report to the War Department every day, and there was Qin Zhiyuan's autograph on it. Although the signature could not be moved over in the telegram, as long as the person who made the payment was Qin Zhiyuan, it meant that Qin Zhiyuan was still in the battlefield and was the supreme commander of the battlefield.
This point does not dare to be faked, and it will be archived after the war.
"There's a point, here...... No problem, right? "Qin Zhiyuan doesn't believe in the secrecy work here, although this is the headquarters of the Entente Powers, it is conceivable that Britain and France will closely monitor this place.
Especially the British.
"Of course no problem, this is my territory, whoever dares to do anything in my territory, I will let him eat and walk around." Foch is domineering.
As the commander-in-chief of the Allied powers during the war, Foch had power over the British and French governments, and Foch had the confidence to say this.
But then again, Foch is now at the pinnacle of his life, which often heralds the beginning of decay.
When the world war is over, Foch will not receive any position, and for Foch, retirement will naturally end most dignifiedly.
"That's good...... William just approached me and wanted me to kill Ludendorff. Qin Zhiyuan got straight to the point.
"Killed? How? Foch frowned, his eyes horrified.
Ludendorff's position in the German army at this time was undeniable, and if Crown Prince Wilhelm wanted to kill Ludendorff, as mentioned above, this kind of behavior was akin to treason.
The exact plan has not yet been decided, but Wilhelm promised that there will be people in Germany who will cooperate. Qin Zhiyuan didn't say what he thought, only stated the facts, and left the decision to Foch.
"If there is cooperation in Germany, then it is possible." Foch recognizes this.
The Entente regarded Ludendorff as a thorn in the flesh, and Foch did not mind destroying Ludendorff physically whenever he had the chance.
For the Germans, Foch, Clemenceau, and Qin Zhiyuan are also thorns in their eyes, and if they have the opportunity, the Germans will not let them go, no matter what method they use.
Of course, just because Foch said this does not mean that Foch will agree to do so, it is not a trivial matter, and Foch will definitely think it through.
"If Ludendorff is killed, the course of the war will be accelerated, but there are also disadvantages, and the German royal family is expected to be able to escape from the whirlpool, which involves the question of what kind of Germany we want." Qin Zhiyuan only analyzed, and did not mix his own opinions.
What kind of Germany do you want?
This is a big problem.
The world war has seen the end of the day, so after the war, how will the Entente as the victorious power deal with Germany as a defeated country has become an urgent problem.
Should the German imperial family be retained and the status quo maintained, or should a constitutional monarchy be modeled after the United Kingdom, or should the monarchy be completely overthrown and a republic similar to that of France, or should a system similar to that of Soviet Russia......
There are so many possibilities.
"What do you think?" Foch asked Qin Zhiyuan's opinion.
In fact, now Qin Zhiyuan has not realized how powerful his voice is, if you calculate carefully, Foch or Clemenceau are not as powerful as Qin Zhiyuan's.
Qin Zhiyuan has an army in his hands, and those Chinese troops are loyal to Qin Zhiyuan, and it is foreseeable that they will always be loyal to Qin Zhiyuan, and in this regard, Qin Zhiyuan has completely defeated all the current Allied generals.
Foch did have a lot of power in his hands, and there were more soldiers who obeyed Foch's orders, but those soldiers were loyal to the country, not to Foch himself, which was fundamentally different from Qin Zhiyuan's troops.
Speaking of Clemenceau, when he was prime minister of France, Clemenceau was of course a big man, a handful of big men in the entire system of the Entente, and even in the whole world. But the democratically elected government has a fatal flaw, the big men are only honored by their status, and once Clemenceau is gone, Clemenceau is nothing, just the editor-in-chief of a newspaper.
Qin Zhiyuan is different, Qin Zhiyuan is the major shareholder of United Petroleum, and there is no shortage of money in his hands; There are several top laboratories in hand, standing at the forefront of science and technology; At the same time, he is also the king of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, and he has a considerable number of troops in his hands, and the combat effectiveness of these armies is still recognized as super......
Therefore, even after the end of the world war, no one dares to underestimate Qin Zhiyuan, because Qin Zhiyuan is now full-fledged.
